Vintage uniform choices immerse players
Star Trek Online has been hard at work trying to put as much detail as they can into the game to make players feel fully immersed into this famous science fiction genre. Additions such as vintage Star Trek uniforms are sure to make Trekkers around the world get excited.
Uniform options do not include the pants, [...]
Section 31 wants you!
There is news of a suspicious (and random) quest NPC roaming the halls of Deep Space 9. What makes this NPC special is the rare, special episode (STO speak for quest) that becomes available to you if you meet certain requirements. The rumor is that this suspicious character is a member of the secret Federation [...]
Warhammer – Still Life in the Old Girl?
I get bored with the same old. I canceled my Warhammer account about a year ago. I reactivated last week. Tier 4 was hopping fun. To be truthful, it was a series of books that I read over the last six weeks that whetted my Warhammer appetite. Vampire Wars, The Vampire Genevieve, and Gotrek and [...]
Star Trek Online Social
In my last story, I criticized Cryptic for lack of tweets. Turns out, I just couldn’t find them. They were there! They just ported it straight over from Champions! Sorry Cryptic. I will try to be a keen observer of neatly hidden features in future. To access this, among other things such as your [...]
People vs. Purples
Intellectual thievery? Psssht! I’m just answering a vital question about today’s MMO scene: How the Hell did people get to the point of Purple vs. People?
I was listening to the MMO Voices podcast, and they brought up a post from their site which asked the question: When did people stop playing for fun and start [...]
Modern Warfare 2: The Multiplayer Experience
It all begins in boot camp. I learn that I am part of the United States army and that I belong to the “Rangers”. I have to demonstrate my incredible marksmanship in front of the local population. After doing this, I decided to press escape with the hope that the button could rescue me from [...]
WoWWatch: How hard is too hard?
How hard is too hard? This is not a question normally associated with WoW. In fact many players (especially those playing other MMO’s) have critiqued WoW as being too easy. But the fact remains – Arthas, the final raid boss of Icecrown Citadel, the pinnacle of WOTLK raiding, has been active for over a month and only two guilds have killed him on heroic difficulty –and both kills were in 10 man format. If most the best guilds in the game can’t kill Arthas after a month is he too hard?
WoWWatch: Cataclysm and you: Guild leveling!
WoW is a good example of an MMOG – but we often forget exactly what that stands for – massive multiplayer online game. Take away the multiplayer and all you have is a massive empty world, and an even harder time getting people together for group quests. In the end WoW is only as much fun as the people you play it with: your friends and your guildmates, which is why I am so excited about the changes coming to guild structure and management in Cataclysm.
Staff Openings
That’s right! LAGWAR has immediate positions open for bloggers, mod developers, and machinima creators. Paid and volunteer positions are available. Candidates chosen will be responsible for creative contributions revolving around various PC games and relies on the games they choose to play.
Details will vary for each candidate, but we are looking [...]
Crown of Byzantus beta key giveaway
LAGWAR is pleased to announce we are giving away beta keys for the browser-based Nordic MMOG, Crown of Byzantus. I’ve personally been playing this game for the last few days and must say it’s entertaining. Living in the United States I’m not real familiar with the genre, but am quickly becoming a fan. [...]
